   Fully agree with your article we have to get behind the team and hopefully push up the table and we can recoup in the summer and witn some new faces we will come back stronger.Just hope we get to go ahead for Lionel road soon that will give a big boost

   Looks like we will have to beat Fulham to stay up, unless we get a couple of quality loanees.

   Of course, all supporters are behind BFC in spirit, but it is difficult to get enthusiastic about the present team sheet, the season has been saved by a press ganged youth coach, who the club then lost, because he lost his previous role and by a great goalkeeper and midfielder.
   I think Benham offered little that was truly revealing, pretty obvious and anodyne stuff, very pr-safe briefed stuff, not a glove was laid on him, or attempted to be laid on him, to explain how a great team last season, became this very average outfit. The admission that he was scared to go in the dressing room, etc, after Warbutongate, Spoke volumes, quite funny really. There was nothing new about the progress, if any, re the still unresolved new stadium, in fact it implied serious drift was the future as far as a brick being laid is concerned.
   Platitudes do not satisfy me and he really had to concede the little he did re errors, otherwise he would look preposterous, given the hash this season has been.
   If there is no reaction at QPR, then it is a serious situation and something has to change, for real.

     … or he could have stayed in his bunker and said nothing.
     I’m glad he’s admitted he got things wrong because it’s the only way we were ever going to move forward.
     Yes, it was anodyne and had a pushy journalist got to him he might have been pressed further, but it’s all about small steps.
     Given the nature of the man I think this was probably quite a significant step forward for him, hence why I think it is something of a breakthrough.
     This season has been a series of mishaps born out of a misguided signing policy but he has admitted too many continentals too soon may have been an issue – again a significant admission.
     The present team sheet lacks experience and guile agreed, but this will be resolved in the summer…. or Mr Benham will have local journalists knocking on his door.

   Talk is cheap, and easy. The ‘top brass’ have turned the club into a shambles and a laughing stock. Congratulations on getting the interview with Benham, but I’m afraid all the enlightening interviews in the world won’t change the fact that this lot haven’t got a clue about football. We’re in very big trouble, and being in denial will simply make it worse. I will continue to get behind the team, but I’m merely watching the demise of our championship status and it’s very sad and unnecessary.
